Class B First-hand BFRO #1163

Annapolis resident sees 9-10ft shadowy figure in driveway at 1:30am

BFRO YEAR: 1970-71 about 1:30 am Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland 1 witness

Account

The witness's brother spent the night alone in a camper parked in the driveway. Around 1:30 a.m. he watched a shadow move across the curtained window and translucent roof, apparently cast by a neighbor's porch light, as something slowly circled the camper while lightly tapping its sides. The next morning the family found fingerprint smudges, a large handprint, and large toeprints in spilled sand.
